The CRD Network provides a technology infrastructure that pairs the power of financial technology (fintech) with the power of influencer demand, to spur the adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. The CRD Network aims to smoothen interoperability between the worlds of centralized finance and decentralized finance (DeFi). It runs on Hyperledger Besu, an enterprise blockchain on Ethereum, and uses CRD Nodes and APIs to operate. This infrastructure enables third-party developers to build a variety of fintech applications on top of it. To ensure there is enough potential adoption, the network partners developers with qualified social influencers to build customized apps that plug into the influencer’s audience.
